Chuvash...
"Spoken by almost 1.4 million people in the Chuvash
and Tatar
Autonomous Republics of the Soviet Union,
Chuvash is the
least typical of the Turkic languages.
Linguists suggest that it
derives from Bolgar, the language once spoken by the Bulgar-
ians. The Chuvash are descended from the East Bulgari, who
maintained control over a considerable area around the con-
fluence of the Volga and Kama rivers during the 13th and 14th
centuries. The cultural influence of this period is noted in a
number of linguistic details common to Chuvash and the Finnic
languages (Votiak,
Cheremiss, and
Mordvin), spoken in neigh-
boring regions. Spoken in two main dialects, Upper (Viryal) and
Lower (Anatri), Chuvash employs numerous loan words from
Arabic,
Persian, and
Russian. A Chuvash literature was
begun in
the 18th century. The original Cyrillic-type alphabet was later
modified further to include diacritical marks." --1000 Tongues, 1972
